| nebb | Hi, is there any point in buying a N900 now? I just read Joerg's post of it being dead. So is the current hardware/software somehow usable? | 02:09 |
|---|---|---|
| nebb | If someone want a cheap one, I might have one :) | 02:10 |
| nebb | fosstodon.org/@neb if connection drops or u want to connect | 02:14 |
| Oksana | nebb: Current hardware is perfectly usable (at least, as long as 3G network is still available, and N900 itself doesn't have a problem - such as, SIM card not detected). I personally have switched to Fxtec Pro1 simply because my last Nokia N900 stopped detecting SIM card. | 02:34 |
| Oksana | Adding a piece of cardboard in helped, for a short while. But not for long. | 02:35 |
| * Oksana personally dreams of a tiny, medallion-like display-less mobile phone which is water-proof and fire-proof. Tiny and fire-proof is a contradiction, because a tiny device cannot fit much insulation inside. So, electronics would have to be quite different - troublesome, in short. | 02:37 | |
| sixwheeledbeast | Fireproof? If your wearing the device and your on fire the device is the last of your worries? | 10:26 |
| norly | does anyone know whether the skype client built into the N900 is still functional? | 20:07 |
| ShadowJK | Doesn't seem to work on mine. iirc microsoft killed off the skype p2p protocol a year or two ago | 20:09 |
| Pali | it already stopped working | 20:09 |
| norly | thanks | 20:10 |
| norly | i was just curious because that seemed to keep working despite all the protocol changes and sunsetting of old clients | 20:11 |
| sixwheeledbeast | maybe skype via purple would work? | 20:17 |
| norly | maybe, but i just wanted to know about the binary blob. i'm not using skype myself, i just noticed that people reported it still working many years later | 20:29 |
